[App] Keep your Android screen on, with ScreenOn app - Android Software Development

Hello guys,
I recently updated my ScreenOn application to a far more stable version, an app that allows you to automatically keep the screen from turning off when specific apps are running. I find it very useful, in fact a friend of mine asked me if there is a way to do it, so I build this app!
It has also support for keeping the screen on at phone calls and on charge,
I know the app design is not great, but it is simple and clean.
The logo needs a great redesign, a friend of mine is working on it.
Any suggestions / ideas?

Not to burst your bubble, but there is a more mature app on the market called Screebl. Give it look: http://bit.ly/ipmwXn
Keep plugging, though and good luck.

well, Screebl keeps the screen on too, but the usage and the whole functionality is completely different.
Screebl understands when you are using your phone only by detecting the orientation.
ScreenOn does notice if you even keep your phone in a specific angle. It does care if you are running a specific app and you want to keep the screen on.
Many of the users find it very useful when reading a webpage, or using the google maps.

We all benefit from choices.

As an android user, I couldn't agree more

We now have better logo!

This is a great great app !! It was just what I was looking for
Thanks for your work Dev !!! Greatly appreciated

Always nice to hear

It's so great. It's what I need.
Brilliant sir.!!
Keep it on.

Tasker does the same thing with much more options

sounds useful to have - thanks

Thank you!
Just what I was looking for. Something simple to keep the screen awake while using Google Maps.

app is amazinh..That was i'm looking for..Thank you,and keep on,if you need any graphic help just send me PM..

One word...Perfect!
Many thanks

Is it possible to ad an option to set the screen on mini brightness ?
An other app called "keepscreenon" have this option, then the screen switchs to mini brightness without switch off. but it doesn't work well on ICS
TIA

Then you should try another application we have created, the AppAutoSettings!

maybe not compatible with ice cream sandwich

Full screen app?

Anyone know if there is a small app to allow you to toggle from a display with menu and task bars to full screen in any app?
TIA
Ed
You might want to take a look at this... VJ's contribution of the toggle tool for today.

I'm working on a new interface and possibly combined version of Fullscreen anything and VJToggleToday II. Hopefully this will allow fullscreen anything...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks mate!
but what is "fullscreen anything" - i couldnt find it!!!
ed
"Fullscreen anything" isn't a program I've released (for now).
I was asked in another thread if I can make an app like VJToggleToday II but for all apps. I said that I made such an app once, but didn't release it because the OS sometimes doesn't know how to deal with "enlarged" apps.
However, since the code for VJToggleToday is nearly finished, but I now need to put an interface around it, I had the idea to combine it with that old unreleased app, to make a combined version.

I spent a bit of time this weekend working on a new idea for this.

Lovely job!
I can't wait!
it'll be very good if it helps me have more screen space for apps like flexmail and pocketinformant! I tried the VGA method but it hurts my eyes to much!!!
Hopefully, and this is theoretical right now because I don't use Pocket Informant, it should work on just about any app. Good thing I wasted so many gazillions of hours writing VJSmallIcons II! Some apps need some "jiggery pokery" (that's a technical expression) to make them fullscreen. However, some apps just don't like to go fullscreen, although the worst that'll happen is you may get some graphical glitches (which is why I didn't release before). I like NewsReader in fullscreen mode, which it doesn't natively offer.

cheers vijay.
I looked at buttonmax but there is no wm5 version yet. Im sure your job will be smaller, slicker & better anyway. (schlurp schlurp, sucking up!!!)

VNC options for trinity (have searched)

hi all
Recently got an M700 and am loving it. Since discovering this place I've been amazed at what customisations you can do, and with flashing to WM6 using AX3L's fantastic ROM, getting TomTom6 working, and a few choice other apps to allow FTP etc., i've now got a device that does pretty much everything I could ask of it anywhere! (Probably matter of time till I brick it though...).
What I am missing though, is a decent VNC client (although I've used the RDP client semi-successfully).
I've searched for 'VNC' but no joy - surely that can't be the case when there's so much other stuff available? or is the search function not liking the term...?
thanks for a great forum & resource
Did you see the posts re zoomVNC on PocketPC Thoughts? Looks nice!

i have now
thanks - looks excellent
i guess there's others out there i couldn't search for too!
For me the best is PTPocketOffice.
It was recommended by Menneisyys:
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1572&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
It consumes a lot less data than the others VNC.
It's fast.
It has fullscreen.
It can be used one handed.
The server side can resample the pictures to make it smaller (less data and better image than if it was done by client side).
The only minor thing I'd like to see improved is their proprietary softkeyboard. why not using the system keyboard? I don't want to use a new keyboard with each of my apps...
that's a great article
i hadn't thought to even try logmein until reading it there, i'd assumed that with their remote screens always being slightly fuzzy and smaller it mightn't be great - wow, was i wrong!
just tried logging onto a client's SBS server and the screen scaling and rotation together make it nearly as useable as a standard desktop! the screen scrolling at the side of the screen is a great interface! there'll be occasions where i need VNC, but for know i think I've got a favoured solution

Request: SMS Pop-up like this!!!

Are there any sms-pop ups like this one for wm?:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Would be great to have a good looking sms pop-up app that shows photo of the sender like this one, seems there are several available for Android but all the ones I've found for wm looks like ****
Try SMS-Chat by Vito Tech, it has a pop-up that is pretty similar to that.
I know but I don't think it shows an image of the sender...
S2U2 does this, but it will only show if the lock screen is on.
And the picture wont be that big.
Just use XDAndroid, or get an Android phone haha.
Edit: Wait nevermind, I see use already use it, haha. Good choice.
Yes it's very nice, the problem is I can't use it at daytime or at work due to the battery drain, so I only use XDANDROID at home at the moment. But it was XDANDROD with handcent sms that first made made me go wow! and wondered why we don't have anything like it in wm...
You've probably already seen it but it takes it even one step further and allows you to fast reply in the pop-up:
Oh, really? With the latest builds I have been getting fairly decent battery life as long as I'm not constantly using data connection. So I have been using XDAndroid pretty much as my main OS throughout the whole day. But I also have an extra battery just in case.
I do really like the SMS popup with Handcent. The quick reply is really what sells it for me. Very useful.
Well I have constant data connection with push mail and stuff running so it really makes some difference I've noticed but yes the battery life has improved a lot in new releases and isn't way behind wm now except for when using wifi that is!!!
I'm searching something like this too?

Im looking this!!!!
Cheers!

lockscreen controls?

Hey guys
anyone who can tell me how to change the controls of the htc lockscreen so that the "menu" button doesn't unlock the tattoo? Is it possible at all?
thx in advance for your answers
Pottkopp
there is not a official option for that maby a hack but i never seen it
I'm interested in this too. I keep unlocking the phone when it's in my pocket then call random people and whatnot.
There is one app called Lockbot Pro.. try it.
tried it and I think that this app is very big but thats not the problem the problem is that it's also very slowly loading the clock.. rly no other way than using other apps? I like the htc lockscreen except of that enerving "menu" unlocking..
I can try to port the hack for nexus, but I'm not sure that I can get it to work... anyone would be interested?
I am! you'd be my hero if you get it to work! what's the lockscreen on the nexus looking like? or you only port the hack?
i'll try and port the hero mod aswell
where you get the code for this? maybe I can try something, too
Last evening I managed to reboot my phone into recovery mode and erase it. All in the pocket of my jacket!
That button is evil...
wow thats very bad.. till now I had luck with it so that I lost no data or money because it started apps that require wifi because i disabled mobile data connections but I hate taking it out of my pocket and seeing the display enabled and that the battery is low.. and I think I'm speaking (or writing ) out the thoughts of every user in this moment when I say someone MUST change this
Two pages in this thread and no solution yet, but the simplest solution is just to buy a proper hard case, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have one of those (similar but cheaper) and never had any problem with unlock.
I have H24 my tattoo in my pocket without nothing, and it doesn't wake up alone...
What can I say? I live a more active life..
..any news? pls post your progress
I looked at a few lock screen replacement apps but they all sucked.
They're either unstable or slow... or both.
I also looked at the API but I can't code. The menu key is KEY_SOFT1 or code 229. I'm guessing this needs to be disabled in the HtcLockScreen.apk app? There's no source code for it anyway
that's where baksmali comes into the picture ;D
What about the Google lockscreen? Isn't there a source code for that one? Or for the lockscreens of those custom roms..
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
no news about that problem???

[LWP] Looking for live wallpaper users to test my background pet! (free & no ads)

Hello,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm currently working on a very fun project called Bee Bro and my intentions are to have an amusing wallpaper pet, which could lighten up any day with silly animations and funny interactions.
It's free and there will be no paid version
It has no ads and will never use any ad service*
I think you might like the amount of permissions it requires
*In the future I might add a "Bee Bro recommends" section in settings screen for my own games and games of my indie gamedev
friends.
It's still in a pretty early stages and only has 4 animations, but there are tons more planned. Night mode is available for people, who prefer dark backgrounds and it does have a specific interaction. Automatic day/night cycle is already in my to-do list as well as some date/season specific events.
Battery usage
16FPS cap (looks crappy, but set as a precaution, will be customisable, when I'll be sure everything works fine)
wallpaper doesn't run when it's invisible (live wallpaper 101)
"sleep on pause" mode - bee will go to sleep every time wallpaper becomes invisible and stays static until user interaction
Wallpaper becomes static when battery reaches 10% and stays that way until charged (I'd like to have hard limit on 5% or 10% and allow user set it's own limit in the future too), would love to hear what you think about this
Hardest part so far: finding people, who could test it and give me some feedback, since that's always a great motivation and I can't work unmotivated! I understand that this subforum might not be the best place to post a thread like this, but, as you can imagine, the main "Apps & games" forum is more a symbolical place to post your project... The engagement there is around zero if you don't count spammy developers asking to trade ratings.
So, please, check it out and tell me if I'm going in the right direction!
Google Play: Bee Bro! (500kb)
